On Labor Day, the last day of summer before 250,000 Track R Chicago Public School students began classes, thousands of their teachers took to the streets to rally around City Hall and CPS headquarters.

As the Sept. 10 teacher strike date nears, parents, students and supporters joined the Chicago Teachers Union and other public employee unions at a Labor Day rally centered at Daley Plaza in the Loop.

As has been the case in the past, CBS reports that the rhetoric at the teacher rally emphasized the disconnect between union president Karen Lewis and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, whom Lewis accused of actively withholding resources from CPS students and teachers.
